Trendmaker gets vendor support for Benefit home
Trendmaker Homes has tapped into their list of vendors and trades to help construct their Greater Houston Builders Association (GHBA) Benefit Homes Project home, a house that when sold, will benefit three charities.
Many of these vendors attended an appreciation luncheon in the community where the home is being constructed. Allpoints Surveying donated the meal for all of the guests.
“From the generosity of the developer who donates the lot, through all stages of construction and even the closing, it’s the donations of materials, labor and services that are key to making this 37-year-old fundraiser a success,” said Will Holder, chairman of the project. “Trendmaker Homes, Rise Communities who donated the lot, and the GHBA wanted to thank each vendor and trade personally with a meal and an appreciation award.”
Each year two homes are built for the charity fund- raiser with donated materials, labor and services from GHBA members. The homes are loaded with upgrades and amenities and sold at market value. Proceeds from the sale are benefitting Texas Children’s Cancer Center, the Alzheimer’s Association and HomeAid Houston. Since the fundraiser began, nearly $10 million has been raised.
Many of the vendors and trades were on hand to accept their award and to tour the home as it is nearing completion. Representatives from the three charities were also in attendance. Each expressed their appreciation to the vendors as well.
Trendmaker Homes built its F501C Plan with the fourth-bedroom option. The home is within the new community of Meridiana south of the Texas Medical Center off Texas 288 and Texas 6.
“Without the vendors, there could not be a Benefit Homes Project,” said Holder. “These vendors are GHBA members and continue to show their commitment to giving back to Houston through charitable work.”
Vendors donating to the construction of the home include: 1st Class Landscaping, Airteam, All Points Surveying, ASAP Masonry, Bay Area Engineering, Bison / BMC / Stock Builders, Firstsource, Café Construction, Ceiling Fans Direct, Champion Shutters, Connect One Security, Dal Tile, David Romero, Designer Stone, DPIS Inspection Service, DSM Construction, E&M Plumbing, Ellen Lighting and Hardware, Fashion Glass & Mirror, and Forterra.
Construction has begun on a second Benefit home for 2017 in the new Elyson Community in west Houston. Newland Communities donated the homesite.
Chesmar is constructing its two-story, 2,733-square-foot Poplar plan. The home is from Chesmar’s Arbor Collection and features four bedrooms, with three baths. The home’s common areas are an open design. Two bedrooms and a game room are located on the second floor.
The first-floor master suite with its bath and walk-in closet offers convenience as well as privacy. This home design also includes a secondary bedroom on the first floor with a full bath.
The home has a covered rear patio and a two-car garage. Proceeds from the sale of this home will benefit HomeAid Houston and Operation Finally Home.
